As reported by CNBC TV18, EBITDA margin expanded to 64.49% from 58.86% in the corresponding quarter last year, indicating enhanced operational leverage and cost management.

According to the latest reports, container throughput stood at 168,000 TEUs in Q1 FY27, up 2.4% from 164,000 TEUs in the corresponding quarter a year ago, with container volumes benefiting from additional transhipment traffic during the quarter. However, Ro-Ro volumes registered exceptional growth of 54.8% year-on-year to 65,000 units from 42,000 units, driven by higher exports from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), partly offsetting declines in other cargo segments. The company faced headwinds from bulk cargo volumes declining 5.5% to 0.52 million tonnes and liquid cargo falling 46.3% to 0.22 million tonnes due to lower imports of LPG and fuel oil. The company handles four types of cargo including container, dry bulk, liquid bulk, and RoRo with exclusive rights to develop and operate facilities of APM Terminals in Pipavav until September 2028.
